Douro River Cruise Late November ?

Does anyone have any experience on a Douro River Cruise (Porto - Salmanca) in late November? My chief concern is the weather. Would it be a cold and drizzly vacation? Are attractions closed or have limited hours. Would hate to spend all that money and have a poor experience. Would Lisbon and Algarve have substantially better weather that time of year? Thanks.

We did the Douro River Cruise in May, that was great.

It will be a bit chilly in late November according to the link I provided. Still, that is not a bad time.

As we get older (we are in our late 70s) we prefer warmer weather. Highs in the low 60s is OK, but not what we would want.
Might work for. you.
Lisbon would be a bit warmer, never been to the Algarve.
